Problem 99
Largest exponential
Comparing two numbers written in index form like $2^{11}$ and $3^7$ is not difficult, as any calculator would confirm that $2^{11} = 2048 < 3^7 = 2187$.
However, confirming that $632382^{518061}> 519432^{525806}$ would be much more difficult, as both numbers contain over three million digits.
Using base_exp.txt(right click and ‘Save Link/Target As…’), a $22$K text file containing one thousand lines with a base/exponent pair on each line, determine which line number has the greatest numerical value.
NOTE: The first two lines in the file represent the numbers in the example given above.
最大的幂
比较$2^{11}$和$3^7$并不困难,因为任何计算器都能验证 $2^{11} = 2048 < 3^7 = 2187$。
然而,想要验证$632382^{518061}>519432^{525806}$就会变得非常困难,因为这两个数都包含有超过三百万位数字。
在文本文件base_exp.txt中有一千行,每一行有一对底数和指数。求这其中哪一行给出的幂的数值最大。
注意:文件的前两行就是上述两个例子。
